Weed of the Week: Moth Vine

Here’s an interesting weed. Moth Vine, also known as:

• Bladder Flower;
• Calico Vine;
• Cruel Plant ;
• False Choko;
• Kapok Vine;
• Milk Vine;
• Moth Catcher;
• Moth Plant; or
• Puruvian Creeper.

If you’ve ever seen one, you’ll be stunned at just how large their fruit can be! And that is where the problem lies, because when that fruit breaks down that’s when the spread begins and becomes hard to control.
